So we all wonder about the future energy, the climate and your children"s future. Well we are at the halfway point of life on this planet 4.5 billion years and we have a long way to go. The catastrophic events mass extinction that have taken place in the past will happen again and our planet will exist but life will re invent itself like it has in the past. So what can us **** sapiens do in order to ensure our survival. Well not much really if the super species dinosaur is an example. The difference is that the dinosaur was adapted to their environment and we the exterminator species change our environment to suit. We hear a lot of climate change but inevitably we are simply slowing down the inevitable cooling with the excessive burning of fossil fuel yes hydrocarbons that takes millions of years baked under exact organic deposit conditions at 350 deg C. We are now tapping into coal seam gas with some abundance 900 psi wells. Then what...you see hydrocarbon energy is not forever. What do we use to replace the kerosine in the 747 wings... at the moment nothing. Why have we had electric hot water for fifty years and solar hot water is so much simpler Why. As you sleep we burn Gigawatts of power in the cities. There are indeed alternative energies that do work even at grid load and the change over must be exact without fail or else our civilization as advanced as we are in technology will collapse due to the vulnerability of energy dependency. I can see like you why we don"t care it"s just so comfortable now too inconvenient, I wonder what will be the turning point will we be in the history books for our children to read about the desiccator generation of the planet. Will we be the heroic generation that seeks the technologies and turn around the inevitable demise of our environment or will planet earth watch yet another feeble attempt of life and set the stage for another theatrical of life on the planet. It"s got plenty of time we have only been here for 70 thousand years. Mike.
